Aphrodite Mattified

So when Zoya's summer collections came out, Aphrodite part of the Paradise Sun Collection quickly became one of my favorites!!!  I love the color, a bright red with a slightly orange tone, but the finish is what really got me!!! A squishy almost metallic Jelly with micro flakies:)  And one of the best thing to do with flakies is to matte them!!! It changes the whole feel of the polish!!!! I knew when I swatched this polish I wanted to Matte it, so that is exactly what I did!!!! (I keep a little book full of mani ideas, so when inspiration is lacking I can grab a quick idea). Now those little white specks you see are from my matte top coat (I used Butter London Matte top coat) and as unfortunate as they are it seems that any matte topcoat, after a couple of months, will do this no matter which brand it is by:(

Even with the little white specks I Love this mani!!!!
